The Gaming Den

Druid casts summon nature's ally 2, destroys game.

Don't forget they can basically do anything you expect from a rogue skillwise.

That is quite a long camel ride.

That really sucks guys. I am sorry to hear that.

Not Rick Roll

Huh, sounds like you can just make everyone in the party your ties, and throw down some serious whoopass whenever someone threatens your group.

I'd like to jump in to bitch about the random rolling thing. I actually wound up with my highest attribute being a 12 before. Let me tell you, it kills the damn game.

I thought the idea of craft effigy abuse came from the fact that it only charges you based on HD and that there are templates that increase CR but not HD. So you can layer on all the half golem templates onto your hydra effigy and it just costs you the same as a hydra.

The problem with having a really involved social system, or any sort of skill system, is that there is generally speaking just one guy doing it. If it is just one roll, it is not such a big deal. If it is eighteen roles then everyone but the party face wanders off to play with the wii. One of the bi...

You know the old timers would go insane if WotC combined Magic and D&D.

What would happen with guerrilla combat in such a system. Could you burn through a few turns of combat maneuvers and then run before the spirit bomb gets fired or no?

Come now, noble Ceilingcat, explore your fairy side with us. It's not gay at all.

I'm another elf by the way.

Which is still not even close to being the weirdest thing in that book.

[br] I haven't read the comic, just seen individual panels here and there. Disappointing. The novels were actually decent. And by that I mean "The first two were decent, the next one seemed a bit random and also deviated from what the Doom games were about, and I haven't read the last one but h...

I don't have book of nine swords, but am I the only person who really prefers the name dragon tail strike to wallop?

I seem to get the gaming den when I search for it these days. I used to have to come here via a link in an article that off handedly mentioned the gaming den in a discussion of one of Trollman's tomes.

Is game workshop's advice worth anything? Or is it like WOTC, where they tell you that the only problem with combining weapon focus, dual wielding, EWP kukri, and whirlwind attack is that you might just be too damn awesome for the table.

I am philosophically opposed to this. It seems like WOTC seriously wants me to pay for a hardbound copy of their errata. If I buy it, WOTC is going to get paid because they have a large enough errata and FAQ that it can fill a hardcover book.

[br] So, the helm of opposite alignment and possibly feeblemind (lost skill points! Do you still qualify for your prestige class?) simply turn off prestige class abilities? Neat. That isn't stupid in any way. [br][br]Totally not stupid. It also was not stupid when the party mage casted ray of enfeeb...

The enjoyable thing about Rifts is that some of the ideas are really good. Consider the crazies. Now, these guys have super human abilities because someone has unleashed the ultimate power of their subconscious minds, seemingly by screwing pop cans into their craniums. Their Tony Robins powers are g...

The thing to remember is that Rifts does not accidentally have imbalanced classes (like DnD). The system completely rejects the very idea of class balance. Possible first level characters include a scholor, a hobo, a drugged up killing machine, and a guy with THE MOST POWERFUL PIECE OF MILITARY EQUI...

4th edition was originally released under the name Calvinball.

Reading this makes me regret my games of shadowrun. My group always precedes very carefully. No heavy weapons, no high risk assignments, no messing with any mage whose power level is over nine thousand. There was that one game where I carried out an assassination by exploding a sky scraper, but that...
